| 2024-10-05 |  | | This app is great! I used to face a lot of problems while watching YouTube videos, accidentally pausing or skipping because of unintended touches. But with this app, I’ve finally sorted out that issue. It works perfectly, blocking unwanted touches and letting me watch videos without interruptions. Highly recommended if you’ve had similar problems! |
| 2023-08-25 |  | | I've absolutely loved this app for 3+ years, still use it but a major ease of access issue. I used to be able to touch the integrated touch blocker button from my top down menu on android to block the screen. Now I have to scroll to the bottom of my notifications ti tap that to block my screen. |
| 2022-12-20 |  | | App is great except for some reason with the app installed, doesn't even have to be running, it messes with my volume. Tried to toggle all switches on and off in settings, Didn't work. With this app installed it will only let me mute or turn to max volume. Won't let me adjust with physical buttons or adjust with on screen slider, when I do it instantly moves either all the way up or all the way down. Must be a glitch with the software an/or my android v#. Wondering if anyone else has this issue? |
| 2022-12-11 |  | | Seems to do it's job. For me, i wanted to lock my camera app to use volume button to take pictures (for underwater pictures), but when the screen was touch locked with the camera open, the volume keys started controlling volume instead of takng pictures. That was on an S10. |
| 2021-12-15 |  | | Scary! One of those apps that causes anxiety. As I was afraid it locked the screen and all hardware buttons (although I didn't select that option) and the only way to recover was to restart the phone. I cringed that that might fail. Also Block on proximity doesn't work. And thank god I did not select an option to enable the lock on boot, I would probably never unlock the phone. What a nightmare |
| 2021-10-03 |  | | Hi there. This is the brother of the one who put this on my phone. I need to reinstall this so i can get my volume back. And you can gain control over your phone ifyou reset it. But if you made the app to where you can't do that, you would probably have to take it off the market, because your phone would be useless then. So as long as you can disable it, great app for pranks. And that is coming from someone who just got pranked with this app. Anyway byebye👋 |
| 2021-09-17 |  | | This app is a genius thing, because when i listened my music with the screen locked, the music started to crash and i realized that this didn't happen with the screen unlocked. So I downloaded this app to see if would solve my problem and my problem was solved. Now I'm listening my music with the screen locked and no glitches. I wanted to give a thousand stars for the great work. |
| 2021-04-06 |  | | Nice and clean design, does the job for which intended. Not a fan of the huge padlock logo in the middle of the screen when the touch-lock is enabled, and there doesn't seem to be an option to hide, move or shrink it (that i can find). |
| 2020-11-07 |  | | Great app, really helps out my work as i need a work app active on screen and can still put my phone in my pocket, however, occasionally very rarely it stops recognizing the unblock with volume keys despite them being enabled, also hardware keys stop being blocked then. I typically force close the app then and re-enable all app permissions each time this happens so it is rather tedious to go through that each time. If it gets fixed i'll give 5 stars for good service! :) |
| 2020-02-02 |  | | Does exactly what i want it to. Only thing i would like to see is the widget start the lock timer instead of immediately locking the screen. With the advent of dual screen phones there is no way to lock the input on the second screen while an app is running because there is no notification bar on that screen. |
